I recently found a rectangle shaped opening in a cliff face that is covered by foliage using a drone. The opening is above the edge of a 45-degree slope from a creek. I climbed to the opening this weekend and not far inside the entrance found several small pieces of possible Quartz with pieces of (maybe) silver in them. They were scattered around, on the floor of the audit. I also found a few pieces of dark colored stone with what looks like Gold in it, but not a professional and not really sure. I didn’t go far in to the mine and probably need better gear than just a flash light. I looked at the Annual Report of the Geological and Agricultural Survey of Texas and there aren't any old Spanish mines listed this far south in Llano county. Could this possible be an old Spanish mine they didn't find? I have permission to be on the property and have been interested in the history of the location, not necessarily treasure. I don’t want to be labeled as someone trying to find treasure, just want historical truths reviled. I’ve come to trust professionals on this site and ask that they direct me accordingly. Who should I notify or am I just wasting my time?
